The Brood
Directed by David Cronenberg
The Brood is a chillingly twisted masterpiece of visceral intensity, considered by many as one of the scariest and terrifying films of all time. Dr. Hal Raglan experiments with ""Psychoplasmics"", a radical therapy designed to release pent-up emotions in his patients. He keeps his best and brightest patient, ex-wife Nola, in isolation. But as she successfully vents her rage and expels her demons during the sessions a series of brutal murders will unleash a whole new breed of terror!
A dark design from the mind of David Cronenberg, The Brood is a chillingly twisted masterpiece of visceral intensity, considered by many as one of the scariest and terrifying films of all time.

Didnt think id like a 1970s movie. Was digital so clear picture. Can say definitely would fit into one of the cult films you should see. Quite disturbing. I thought the opening scenes with the Dr were interesting and part play/therapy that both those actors were very good. Worth the watch
Brilliant. Plays out to the very last scene of the last act. From the physical manifestation of psychological trauma to the childlike rage creatures its great allegory.
Mediocre
A classic.
Classic. For me this is right up there with the village of the damned. (hate blondes now thanks to that movie lol) but Oliver Reed is a legend at playing the arrogant asshat that knows best. Enjoyed this and the flashback to the clothing haha - if you are born post 1990 - be gentle with the make up and acting in your opinions. This is the greatest thing ever for its time.
